Future of Business and Tech - Fighting Climate Change — Lessons Learned from the Front Lines
In the United States, transportation is the largest emitting economic sector, accounting for nearly 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. Our existing transportation infrastructure is powered almost entirely by pollutant-heavy fossil fuel systems.
Within this sector, medium-and heavy-duty vehicles do a lot of the environmental damage. These vehicles are larger and more robust than passenger vehicles, and use correspondingly larger, less fuel-efficient engines.
The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1993 with the belief that advanced technology and innovation can solve the world’s environmental problems. We are the national leader providing technical support to medium-and heavy-duty vehicle operators looking to deploy zero-emission vehicles in this space.
